Have any of you guys had success with this? I subscribe to Ethan's videos…He's talking with Jamie from Trend diamond sharpening. Seems simple enough but would love to hear an unbiased opinion.
Trend is good … also DMT. I have had more experience with DMT … I think they are a horse apiece.Thanks for your input! Sounds like Trend is pretty well top of the line as far as diamonds go? Anyone have experience with trend diamond cards specifically?

Pretty much my thoughts too. One thing though, I thought carbide was harder than most sanding grits, other than Greenstone and diamond. What does it do to your sanding belt/disc after you do your sharpening.MrRon, I could not count the number of times I was told I could not do something, after I d done it. The first example I remember was, I was covering vertical surfaces with two part epoxy. I was buying it in five gallon containers. I was years into it before I learned "I couldn t."
As I mentioned above, I was cleaning up some colored Acyrlic I d cut using a hole saw. Before going after them with my carbide tip, it was taking a long time to work my way through sand paper and polish. After switching to the carbide, it was a turn key project, so to speak. However, I tried the HSS scraper and it didn t do the job. Neither did the carbide, until I touched it on the sander (220) for just a second.
How would it be we can sharpen saw blades over and over again, but not carbide lathe knives?
